POLES ADDRESSED BY PRESIDENT
Battle For Rule Of Law
LONDON, September 18.
Berlin Wireless stated that president Moscicki and the whole of the Polish Government have arrived at Bucharest from Cernauti.
President Moscicki, before his departure from Poland, thus addressed the Poles: “Citizens, at a time when our army, with indomitable courage, struggled against the enemy’s overwhelming power, Russia invaded our land in violation of the covenants and of morality. We are facing, not for the first time in our history, invasion from the east and west. Poland, allied with England and France, has battled for the rule of law as against lawlessness. She will emerge victorious. “With heavy hearts, we decided to transfer the seat of Government to a place reassuring our sovereignty and the opportunity to safeguard the interests of the State. I am sure you will preserve through all your ordeals the spirit of dignity and pride which has earned for you the admiration of the world. Almighty God will vindicate the justice of our cause.”
